Madras HC orders probe into Tamil library's AI books

The Madras High Court has directed Tamil Nadu's anti-corruption agency to investigate allegations that Coimbatore's Periyar Arivulagam library purchased hundreds of suspected AI-generated books. The court also ordered freezing of bank accounts of the accused publisher. The state's School Education Minister called it possibly 'India's first AI scam.' Over 160 writers and academics have demanded an independent inquiry.
